Southwest Michigan for bernie 2016

big news 9/6/26:

UPDATE 8/25/16: SW MI for Bernie 2016 is still going strong! We are now called SW MI for Progress and we'll be putting up another website VERY soon! In the meantime, visit us on Facebook HERE.

We've been working hard! After Berners state-wide became Precinct Delegates and Occupied the MichiganDemocratic Party, we've finally attained some success!! Berners from across the state joined the Platform and Resolutions Committee,and now the Michigan Democratic Party has the most progressive platform in state history!

It is quite possibly even among the most progressive platforms in the country!The 2016 Michigan Democratic Platform now includes:1. Direct, clear opposition to the TPP trade agreement. It is one of only a few that mention the TPP and has arguably the strongest anti-TPP and trade language in any state platform, period!2. Strong language for campaign finance reform, getting money out of politics and ending Citizens United- including support for a constitutional amendment!3. Strong anti-corruption language and strong calls for accountability of public officials and corporations4. Funding our schools and holding charter schools accountable5. Support of industrial hemp farming6. Support the enactment of a 21st Century Glass Steagall7. Support of municipal public broadband initiatives deployed at the city/township level8. Support of a public healthcare option9. Supporting the 15$ minimum wage10. Ending tax havens and tax loopholes11. Paid sick leave12. Allowing the people of local communities to put a stop to fracking in their communities13. Tuition-free community college!14. Paper-only, trackable, recountable paper ballots. No electronic voting machines allowed!15. Strong language condemning police brutality including the use of bodycams16. Support for legalization of marijuana and removing marijuana from the DEA Schedule 117. Ending private prisons18. Ending all oil subsidies19. Demanding an immediate expert inspection of Line 5 paid for by Enbridge with any recommendations to shutdown be followedI'm almost certain I'm not covering everything!We did this. We have been speaking out for these issues for a long time. It feels good to finally be heard.Now! Remain vigilant! All a platform really means is that we have set goals and we must work very, very hard to accomplish them!#OurRevolution#SWMIforProgress

charles and kimberly will be in philly as delegates!

I want to thank everyone who came to support us at the District Convention.

We are going to win the contested National Convention. I know many are doubtful, but there is much reason to hope. California looms; 67.5% is needed there and WE CAN DO IT. We need to keep working. If you think you can't help from Michigan, think again. Phonebank from home if you must!

On top of that, Hillary's poll numbers will continue to dip vs Trump in head-to-head preference polls leading up to July. Bernie's will remain 10+ points ahead. They are ALREADY offering all kinds of party platform concessions- trying to get Bernie to concede. They are scared. They know he could actually take the nomination. And so we're not giving up. We're bringing them the message: Bernie is the only candidate that can stop Trump, and the Party is risking the Presidency if you nominate Hillary Clinton. And they will listen, because keeping the White House is more important to them.

The Party's progressive base, which is a majority, has them backed into a corner. The monetized party apparatus vs the actual voters....there has been a huge disconnect between these in recent years. It's time to take the party back from the Reagan Democrats and end the Corporate Oligarchy! I will cast my vote for nothing less, and you have my word on that.

In service and solidarity,Charles and the SW MI for Bernie 2016 Team

Bernie is holding STRONG!!

Forget the total delegate count, it will change. The next states favor Bernie more heavily!

He will shoot past Hillary and win the nomination. My prediction was that if he wins Michigan, he will win the nomination.

But it won't be easy. It's not "in the bag". But the path is open. And we need YOU to help win this thing.
